Which P90 Harley Benton would you recommend? Which one would you buy?

The JA or CST based solely on my own personal visual attraction and expectation that they’re lighter than the “Goldtop”

I haven't bought one yet, but I'm eyeing the tele with the F-hole. Though the SC Custom with the P90s sounded great in a demo I heard, I don't really like Les Pauls at all.

Without thinking TE-90QM Red! Was my favorite guitar. Stupid to sell it just because I dreamt of buying a Jazzmaster. Had Wilkinson pickups in it though. Very much a modern D shape neck.

Wilkinsons tend to be much brighter though, and IMO that's not the ticket on a P90 setup. I'm loving the Roswell single coils I've heard so far (though I hate their humbuckers)

My P90 guitar is a modern casino and apparently the P90s are high output. Having no point of reference I’m quite happy with them anyway.

I'm loving the Roswell single coils I've heard so far (though I hate their humbuckers) Funny as I didnt like their ST-62 and TE-70 single coils I had but liked the SC-550FT humbuckers I've played recently Just shows that taste is subjective. I find the Wilkinson humbuckers being darker than the SC-550FT Roswells. Am yet to play the Roswell P90's but I did play the Roswell FLT pups and I didnt like em much.

My JA60 with Wilkinsons has 250KOhm pots as stock thus rendering them that little bit darker.

Scale length could be an important factor aswell. I get along with the 628mm better than the 648mm.
The Goldtop P90 weighs around 3.8kg so it is not a light guitar.
The TE90 got very good reviews as well.
If I had to start choosing a new guitar it would be the JA60 in OW.
And then after awhile change the complete electronics to proper components. And put Vineham P90s in it.
I will soon get some Donlis pickups which I am quite curious to try out.
